Austin Science & Nature Center

Located within Zilker, one of our hands-down ultimate free favorite things is the Austin Nature and Science Center. Your children will never grow tired of this terrific FREE resource. Artifacts, animals, nature trails, ponds, a giant sand pit full of dino bones — it has so much to offer children of all ages!

The Austin Nature & Science Center offers a variety of educational science and art exhibits all year-round. Exhibits are open to the public during regular visitor hours with no entry fee, but donations are accepted.
